'Did not expect to be accused of terrorism': Sharjeel Imam in his note from prison

New Indian Express  

He was arrested by the authorities on January 28, 2020 after being accused of inciting communal violence through speeches made by him in December 2019 and January 2020 at peaceful protests opposing the Citizen Amendment Act. Sharjeel Imam, the Muslim student leader, spent well over four years in prison before he could even get a bail. Imam was accused of orchestrating the February 2020 Northeast Delhi riots which claimed at least 53 lives, mostly Muslims who were part of the anti-CAA protests. Ironically, Sharjeel Imam, along with other students, human rights activists and politicians was arrested one month before violence rocked northeast Delhi. Speaking of his arrest, Imam wrote that though he had anticipated being imprisoned on "trumped-up charges" due to his involvement in the Shaheen Bagh protests, he did not expect to be accused of “terrorism,” especially for the riots that occurred a month after his arrest.
